Fruit Rojak

RM $4.00

Rating: 9/10

Fresh ingredients used in the Rojak. Especially Cuttlefish and You Tiao.

What is You Tiao? Click here for more info :

Dark sauce is made of Prawn Paste or Shrimp Paste, very strong smell but do not taste too fishy. Penang Rojak has a more strong flavour than the type we had in Singapore.

Strongly recommend this stall for their Rojak. You Tiao was so crunchy and crispy that I thought it was cracker.
